After you enter a tournament online, an acceptance list will be published after the closing date of the tournament.  For yellow ball competition, acceptance is based on rating and then ranking at the closing date.  For Mini Tennis competition, acceptance is based on rating and then recent form at the closing date.

For yellow ball competition only 8 players can be accepted into each tournament, although more players can be accepted for Red, Orange and Green events depending on how many courts are available and time allocated. 

Reserves are numbered in accordance with the acceptance process.  It is the players’ responsibility to check the website up until the withdrawal deadline date to see if their status changes, thereafter they should wait to receive an email or phone call from the tournament referee who will inform them if they are required, this can be right up until the start of the tournament.
